                <div>hello,<br>
                  <br>
                </div>
                I am doing the following experiment:<br>
                <br>
                osg::ref_ptr<osg::Vec3Array> array(new
                osg::Vec3Array);<br>
              </div>
              array->resize(300000000);<br>
            </div>
            array->clear();<br>
            <br>
          </div>
          This does not deallocate the memory.<br>
        </div>
      </div>

    It is "detaching" the memory. There is no guarantee the memory is
    actually freed at this point (see std::vector)<br>
    The only safe way to "de"-allocate a std::vector is to get it out of
    scope or swap it with an empty vector.<br>
    Note that for c++11 there is also a shrink_to_fit.<br>
    <br>
    Cheers<br>

        How do I effectively deallocate the memory from the std::vector
        encapsulated in the osg::Vec3Array?<br>
